    So 7 of the top 10 are European, hope the Yanks are ready for the Ryder cup!

    (well done Mcllroy)

    The record for winning margin in the PGA is 7 shots, he could equal it here.

    8 shot victory. Superb. Well done Rory, great control around the course all week.

    When he's on form he makes it look so easy. He was head and shoulders above the rest all week.

    Nice to see his dad there to see Rory's 2nd majors.

    Why does Rory's tweets make him sound like a bit of a show-off ponce?

    Unbelievable golf, flawless.
    Even I thought he had something to prove earlier in the year, but he rammed that down all the critics' throats today.

    Petterson played unreal too considering what happened on the first.
    IJP can go back to designing jocks or whatever-closest he'll ever come to ones and twos.

    There might be some dodgy rules but grounding your club in a hazard isn't one

    Yeah. If he grounded it then he has no one to blame but himself, I only said what I did based on the comments on TV. You could actually hear Petterson asking the rules official why he got a penalty and the official told him it was because he moved the leaf/loose impediment.

    Anyway, congrats to McIlroy, that was some show of skill, talent and nerve. Hats off.

    Didn't see a shot today as I was out and about, so will have to catch the highlights whenever they are on before really commenting.

    But nonetheless, congrats Rory.




    Congrats to Berba too. Good to see you bringing your wisdom from the soccer forum to here.

    What was the story with the bunkers this week? Was sure I saw a few taking practise swings in them?

    all sand was classed as 'sandy areas' i.e. no bunkers on the course at all so you can ground your club/take a practice swing

    Careful, might get massacred here for asking ;)

    Caught bits of the tournament here and there, was interesting enjoyable but never felt spectacular, never felt like a true Major was being fought out. It very much felt like a regular US tour event which was disappointing.

    Can't say I feel any which way different or not about McIlroy winning,I'm not a fan of his so I don't particularly follow his golf but have to say the papers this morning are full of cringe...

    Bitter.

    Rory's game was in a worrying state for a good part of this year, especially in the other majors. Something was distracting him and thankfully he sorted it out. I hope he goes on to win many many more. He's starting to attract those people that hate winners bit can never seem to explain why. Taylor in the darts...Ronnie in the snooker...the entire man utd team...

    It is not being bitter. I don't follow or support him. Of course I appreciate his victories and the performances when he puts it in. It is nothing more then the fact I am an avid Garcia fan for many a year, and I follow him through tournaments, and while I like and appreciate watching tournaments as a whole, I never find an interest in cheering anyone other then Garcia, unless its Ryder Cup :)

    Fair enough but I think you may need to start following a couple of new players!

    I don't think his dad ever misses a tournament live. He worked hard to give his son every chance to be where he is today. Delighted for him.

    Oh and I forgot the 'Colonel', the pompous pontificating ponce who sounds like he commentates from sitting on the throne.

    yeah he talks an awful amount of bollocks and then whispers when a player is about to hit their shot as if they are going to hear him speak...

    Totally disagree.

    Not spectacular? The guy beat the field by 8 shots and broke Jack Jack Nicklaus's 32 year record of biggest winning margin. If that's boring then I dunno!
